5 Real Love Lessons From Karel Marquez and Sean Farinas’ Prenup

1. When in doubt, believe

“Kaya ko pa ba? Isusugal ko ba?”

It’s totally fine to let yourself feel the pain and question the validity of love after a really bad relationship—or in the absence of any relationship whatsoever. When the going is easy, everyone is happy. But when relationships fail, that is when true love proves itself. Those who can move beyond the pain and dare to try again are a step closer to their destiny.

3. Carpe diem

When The One arrives, you’ll be reminded why ‘just okay’ was never good enough. And we hope that this realization will push you to put down all your defenses and forget the what ifs. Take that leap of faith instead!

Turning her fierce face on

4. There’s always a reason to keep going on

Once the crying fest and the hurting are over, hold your head up high and wear your heart on your sleeve again. You are loved and special and were brought into this world for a reason—heartbreak doesn’t change that. Who knows? You might even be rewarded when you give love another try.

When an end is just the beginning

5. Ends give way to beginnings

“Magsimula tayo sa wakas. Sa wakas, magsisimula na tayo.”

When people see and hear “The End” they usually perceive it as tragic. But Karel Marquez showed the world that endings could be the most beautiful beginnings. They are new stories that are waiting to be told. All we have to do is let these stories happen. All we need to do is to hope and continue trying. (Bene Perey)
